I would love to have these books to read and discuss with my k-3 students during social skills. We are constantly having discussions on what it means to be respectful and good manners are a big part of that discussion. Thank you so much for your continued resources that you share!!

I would love to win this for my daughter’s preschool class. Currently, the teacher, along with the parents, take turn checking these books out from the library. The kids love story time and these books are great at helping them learn appropriate social behaviors and interactions. 🙂

Hello! We are a nonprofit preschool and provide scholarship support to over half of our families. We are a dual immersion (Spanish and English) program, which means that about half of our students speak Spanish at home, and the other half English. We have native Spanish and English speakers on our staff too. We LOVE this series and especially appreciate the Spanish versions. A donation to us would benefit our lending library and home visiting program, two efforts to invite parents to join us in partnership in their children’s education.

Social and Emotional Learning for our students is an important part of our District’s strategic plan. If we had these books, we would share them through our professional library and thus make them available to every teacher in Austin ISD. We have over 80,000 students, and I oversee Library Media Services for our District, i.e. campus libraries and the .professional library..I know that our students would enjoy them. They are colorful and relevant.

I am an elementary school counselor. These books would be great resources for social skills groups or character education lessons in the classrooms. Children can learn a lot from books. I like using them in my counseling program.

I am a braille tudor for a 2nd grader. My objective this year is for her to make friends. She tends to only want to be with adults, which makes her bossy to the child and sometimes rude. I would braille these for her and include a book a week into her lessons.

I am a center director for 3 classrooms with Capital Area Head Start. In these classrooms we are teaching self regulation and giving positive behavior instructional supports. These books would be used in conjunction with lessons being taught or as a emotion is being dealt with to help children recognize what they are feeling or how others are behaving. Thank you for these great books with wonderful illustrations.

I would love to use this resource for social skills both in the resource room and when I push into kindergarten, first and second grade class rooms. We all need lessons in manners and civility these days and this would be a fabulous resource!

There are so many ways I would use these! I would feature them in my storytimes, create displays and bilbiographies to guide parents toward, and booktalk them while discussing preschool and kindergarten readiness!

Manners are always a good thing to teach kids! I spend so much time trying to teach my son other things like reading and math skills that manners and etiquette often get left out! These books would be a great resource to use since I homeschool!

Wonderful life skills to work into community circle time and thru an emergent curriculum. By reading with all of the different age groups, students can relate, use pictures and similar experiences to take away positive examples of working through emotions.

I am a pre-k/k Speech Language Pathologist and I provide supports around communication and social/emotional learning. These books would be great to use with whole groups and with small groups of children that need more explicit teaching. Thanks for the opportunity to enter your give away 🙂

I would love to win these books to read to my preschoolers and help them understand what it means to have manners and help them understand the different emotions that comes with the behaviors they are showing.

I would use the materials in small group sessions for students and push in lessons for students in my school. These would be great lessons to share with our teachers on character development. These would be an excellent resource for our kids.

I would love for my home visitors to be able to take them to families that they work with , so many live without even one book for their children and we take them for parents to read and interact with their child or children.

I would use them for story time and then have an open discussion with the children in what they think about the book and ideas on how they might use what they’ve learned. After lunch or snack we could discuss who used their new knowledge to improve how they behave.

I am a Librarian and these would be a fantastic addition to my collection. The entire school would have access to these and it would bring updated material as ours were seriously outdated and had to be weeded this year. We would use these for check out for the entire student population, for teachers during social studies lessons, our own lessons during resource as well as the guidance counselors with their small groups!

I am the Director of a large faith-based child care center. We are trying to implement PBIS in our school. I would use these books as a training resource, and then have them available in a library so teachers could use them to implement PBIS strategies in their classrooms.

The titles to these books are interesting and would immediately capture the interest of the 3 year olds I work with. They would help to show in a fun way how to interact with others as we are working on their social skills.

These books would be great for PreK–2nd graders during classroom counseling lessons, small counseling groups, and individual counseling sessions at our school to promote social skills, manners, and develop positive relationships!! As a School Counselor, I would use these books to help students understand and implement social skills. What a great resource!

I would use these resources as part of my Guidance Curriculum to help teach students appropriate and positive social and emotional skills. I would use them in both classroom guidance lessons as well as when I work with individual students. I see these resources as a treasure trove of information and skill building examples that students can learn from and practice in their day to day interactions.

I would utilize these books with my students at both of my Elementary schools grades K-5 as well as, Preschool classrooms. I run many groups of students who need support with their Social Skills and Social Interactions. We are a low-income school community and do not have many resources available to us! I would also share these books with my fellow School Social Workers in our district for their students.

Classroom, ancillary and support services teachers would use these in our character development curriculum. .. They would also be available to parents through our teacher/parent resource collection in the library.

I will use the above resources to build positive behavior, motivate students, and enhance social skills such as sharing, taking turns, use kind words, be kind, to love and respect others. I will also use the resource to enhance empathy, diversity and inclusion.

As an aspiring school counselor, I am planning to add these books to my curriculum/library to teach students self awareness and behavior awareness. I will incorporate these books in small groups and in class lessons.

I work for an Inclusion program for children with special needs. I would use these invaluable resources as a coaching tool (to be added to our lending library) for the families and early child care educators that we collaborate with.

I would use these in the after school programs within our district. I am the assistant director to 6 schools, 4 of them elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. These would be extremely useful in our programs.

As a District Behavior Coach collaborating with 35+ schools I would share these wonderful resources with all the school teams I support! I will also share them with our District Behavior Intervention Team as resources for Social Emotional Learning lessons and individual student behavior support interventions. 🙂

I would use these resources in our gifted programs for the social-emotional group at the elementary ages. It’s a great way to talk about behaviors of all students, but these kiddos require a slightly different angle.

Our program (The Attendance Improvement Program) requires the counselors to do social-emotional activities in the classrooms with our students. Our program works with students who are Preschool aged and in Kindergarten. It’s important for students at this age to start learning appropriate social skills.

I’d donate them to our school counselor who goes into each classroom weekly and he would read these stories to each and every one of our elementary classes. We would them place them in our Family Lending Library where parents have access to these books!

I would use these during my character development time in my classroom. Manners are a very important aspect of life. The books would be excellent reinforcement tools to remind students to mind their manners, and that manners really do count.

I would add these to our Character Education Library and use them all year round! I would add appropriate props and activities for each. Another idea would be to create book bags to send home with the families to read together.

I would use these during our story time in both the Preschool and Pre-K rooms at our non-profit child care center. We have some behaviors sprouting in those classrooms and could use some age appropriate reading materials! 🙂
